Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In the intricate tapestry of our lives, the pursuit of happiness, safety, and love is a universal quest. Yet, for many, the journey toward emotional wellness is fraught with challenges beyond their control. Trauma, familial history, and the burdens of life can cast shadows that obscure life's inherent beauty. I believe that each individual deserves to uncover, rediscover, and reclaim life's joy and purpose.
As a compassionate and dedicated psychoanalytical therapist, I aim to guide you through this transformative process with warmth and understanding. Through welcoming and conversational counseling services, I aim to create a space where you can explore the intricate connections between your mind, body, and spirit. This holistic approach seeks to assist you in reconnecting with your higher purpose, allowing you to navigate life unburdened by emotional pain.

Haley Carroll
Psychologist, MS, PhD
I offer a supportive and evidence-based approach to help clients navigate post-traumatic stress disorder.
My clinical expertise encompasses a wide range of behavioral and cognitive behavioral (CBT) therapies. I also specialize in evidence-based treatments for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), including Prolonged Exposure and Cognitive Processing Therapy.
I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist with extensive clinical and research training. I completed my doctoral studies in Clinical Psychology at the University of Washington, with a focus on diversity science. My internship at Harvard Medical School/Massachusetts General Hospital centered on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and I pursued a postdoctoral fellowship in Global Psychiatry at Boston University Medical Center.
Currently, I am an Assistant Professor based in Seattle, Washington, at Boston University. My research explores the impact of migration on mental health, in collaboration with Universidad del Pacifico in Lima, Peru, and Boston Medical Center. This work informs my culturally sensitive approach to therapy.
If you're seeking a compassionate and knowledgeable therapist, I'm here to support you. Feel free to reach out to learn more or to schedule a session.

Rick Rodgers
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LCSW, CADC, CCTP, RYT 500
My journey as an Afghanistan veteran and licensed psychotherapist has instilled a profound understanding of trauma's impact. Driven by this experience, I offer a holistic approach that weaves together talk therapy with somatic practices like mindfulness and meditation, fostering healing and resilience. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate trauma recovery, addiction, and narcissistic abuse. Additionally, I provide DOT SAP evaluations for transportation professionals. I believe in a collaborative therapeutic relationship where we work together to uncover your inner strength and create a path towards wholeness.
If you experience any of these symptoms—hyperarousal, irritability, chronic fatigue, chronic shame, overeating, substance abuse, difficulties trusting others or yourself, trouble relating to others, avoidance of certain situations or memories, or physical symptoms like tightness in your shoulders, jaw, or stomach—you may be dealing with the aftermath of abuse.
I specialize in helping individuals who are victims of abuse. However, if your relationship involves active emotional or physical abuse, and one partner is predominantly abusive, individual counseling for each of you may be more suitable. My approach is most effective when both partners have experienced abuse but are not in an antagonistic dynamic where one person is the primary abuser.
